HOW IS IT MADE, AND FROM WHAT?

The shell-less pumpkin seeds, which are grown in Hungary, are first harvested, washed, dried at a low temperature, and then stored in a cool dark place. Before pressing, we clean the seeds again, we grind them, we knead the ground seeds with a little salt and water, and then we start to heat it gently. As a result of this process, the protein in the seeds will shrink and the oil will reveal itself with its characteristic taste and colour. This process is under continuous control by our press masters. They can determine when this mixture is in the ideal condition to press.

The pressing is carried out using a hydraulic press. The pressed oil is stored in stainless steel barrels, until it has settled, and after this it is bottled. No chemical or biological treatment is used in the oil.

Through this traditional process the pumpkin seed oil attains its own natural distinctive colour and flavour, and will be healthy and free from microbiological infections. The consistently high quality is guaranteed by using selected raw materials, modern technology, and expert dedicated staff.
